Lovely property
The villa is fantastic, perfect for couples or a small family. The garden is beautiful. The only slight downside is that it isn’t really possible to walk anywhere.

Chainteris Villa II
Villa was lovely and bigger than it looks in the pictures. Key swap and entry to villa was very easy and loved the view from the garden. Only real comment was that the garden could do with a bit more shade. We enjoyed our week there and would like to say thank you to all concerned.

Super Urlaub
Das Ferienhaus ist von der Lage perfekt ob Strand, Restaurant oder Ausflüge, alles schnell zu erreichen. Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war auch easy. Paar Kleinigkeiten müssten behoben werden wie duschkopf müsste an der Wnad befestigt werden. Tvs haben kein Signal Und die Küchenmöbel riechen sehr nach Feuchtigkeit. Aber im großen und ganzen war es ein entspannter Urlaub. Den Kindern hat es auch super gefallen.

Beautiful views
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this villa. The garden was lovely with a beautiful view. Only minutes away from the beach, restaurants and the National road. Only negative was that the bathroom could do with a decent shower rather than a hand held shower head.

Beautiful, Relaxing, and Peaceful
The property has beautiful with a well-done outside with a nice private pool and swing, and a nice spacious interior. Located not far from Rethymno but far enough away on a hill to have privacy while still having a slight sea view. The management company had excellent communication before and during. There are two other villas on site but there is enough privacy to not know they are there. The pool and the view was the real highlight to the property. We enjoyed our stay and it was a good place to base ourselves to see the western side of the island.
